Public bug reported:

I just discovered that after upgrading to Utopic a few days ago, youtube
html5 and flash videos simply don't play in Chrome, Chromium, or
FireFox.  Videos will load, appear to buffer, but not play at all.  The
player interface will be responsive, but the video does not play, the
seek bar does not move, and no sound is heard.  I checked the software
updater tool to see if there have been further releases of any of these
packages, and it says my computer's software is up to date.  I did some
searching and found this bug, recently closed from inactivity which
appears to describe the same symptoms as I'm having:
